Battle Log of the Gospel Outreach of Gold Coast Chinese Christian Church in the proximity of Australia Fair, South Port on Thursday May 16th 2024 from 1300 to 1430 and the Extra Toowong Outreach by Rev Kwan at more or less the same time period.

Today , only Paul and Fernanda were available for the weekly street outreach . All other regular team members were all occupied by some other appointment. i.e. Rev Kwan had to send his wife to Brisbane Private Hospital for the last rehab body check up at 1 pm that will last for 2 hours. So Rev Kwan switched to do street outreach at a near by place at Toowong. Thanks God stopping the rain and let me share with many non believers with good result. As soon as Rev Kwan finished and had to rush to hospital to pick up his wife. The rain fell down poring again. So virtually, God had opened up a window of opportunity to allow Rev Kwan serve in a dry condition for His Kingdom sake,

1) Ahmed, an Iranian Muslim but not a firm Islamic follower. I could feel his initial resistance to talk about Jesus, but was moved to build rapport first rendering praise for the Iranian Christians while receiving Christ overseas like in Australia, majority of them chose to return to Iran to plant church and some even send themselves to near neighbor country like Türkiye having so far built 100 or more Iranian Christian churches to cross culturally evangelize the younger Türkiye generations. It gave him the sense of pride for the marvelous thing his compatriot have done. It consequently has softened his heart by the Spirit to open up to understand and appreciate the Gospel. We end up happily taking selfie to leave a mark in this divine encounter.

2) Then I was led to catch up with Zheng ? from Guangzhou . He was open for chatting from a materialism advocate point of view . I nevertheless only had time to share half of the gospel. Pray for God's follow up work.

3) Then I was led to approach a local Aussie girl with a wig of purpose color. It implies she is an attention seeking person. Before I started sharing the gospel, I use the clue of Fair Dinkum to build rapport. But curiously, she suddenly turned irritative when asked something she does not know and appeared scared? It was a very rare reaction. Just pray for God's continuous guardiancy to lead her to salvation.

4) Next I caught up with an UQ student from Indian. He was open and friendly, but was able to share the nutshell of the gospel.

5) Finally, I was led to connect with Achars, an Indianan of Hinduism but was born here in Australian. But the family religion affiliation heavily impacted his religious and world view emphasizing that it is up to individual to lead a righteous and fruitful life. But at the end , he admitted no one is perfect and righteous enough to earn our way to heaven. It was a significant and good shift of world view paradigm.

6) And finally I caught up with a lady from Jiangxi Nanchong . She admitted she is an Athiest but she once received the OOPN 513 gospel tract at the kGS possibly from Ryan's week end physical team. But she took initialtive to take two tract Chinese and English so in a sense she was half open to know more about God though her preoccupation of atheism limited her to think beyond the box of our limited human mind and awareness. . Yet evidently, she was moved to re-examine the message of Gospel in a serious manner. Pray for God mercy and grace to guide her to make her last step of action faith.
